Abstract
A method for accessing a memory cell includes enabling precharging of a bit line of the memory cell before a next access of the memory cell. The method includes disabling the precharging after a first interval if the next access is a write. The method includes disabling the precharging after a second interval if the next access is a read. The first interval is shorter than the second interval.
